From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 814: Chapter 810: At the First Crow of the Rooster, Get Up and Work (Second Update)

Mu Danian didn’t say a word and continued to walk towards the kang.

Huang Bita realized something was wrong and suddenly lifted the wedding veil, just in time to see Mu Danian nearly drooling.

”Fif...Fifth Uncle!” Huang Bita timidly called out.

At this moment, Huang Bita was extremely nervous, not for any other reason than that she was the only person in the room, and the one who came in was Dalang’s Fifth Uncle, a man. If someone saw them, it would be a scandal that couldn’t be washed away.

”Bita, what do you think of our family?” Mu Danian asked with a grin, getting closer to Huang Bita.

Seeing that he was about to approach the kang, Huang Bita said, ”Fifth Uncle, you’d better not come over. It would be bad if someone saw us.”

”Bita, your words really sadden me.” Mu Danian pretended to be upset, but his eyes still wouldn’t budge an inch.

At this moment, Mu Danian even felt like it was his own wedding night.

The beautiful woman in front of him was his own wife.

”Bita~ how about you...” Before Mu Danian could finish his sentence, the wedding room door suddenly opened, and it was Old Mrs. Mu who had returned from escorting relatives.

She originally wanted to check if Huang Bita was still in the room as she had instructed, but upon seeing Mu Danian and Huang Bita alone together, her face immediately turned grim.

”Fifth, what are you doing in Dalang’s room, and you, Huang Bita, who told you to lift the veil? Hurry and cover it back up, don’t bring bad luck to me!” Old Mrs. Mu scolded loudly.

Huang Bita was stunned and quickly covered her veil.

Mu Danian said, ”Mom, I just came to see what Dalang’s wife looks like. It’s not like there’s no one in the room, Shuang came in earlier, and I only came in after she left. But she went to the kitchen to prepare food.”

Old Mrs. Mu was skeptical but still drove Mu Danian out.

In the room, only Huang Bita and Old Mrs. Mu remained for a moment.

”Marrying into our Old Mu Family, you must follow Old Mu Family’s rules! Always remember who your man is, and don’t think that just because of your face, you can seduce people recklessly by showing it off.

Let me tell you, I’m not to be trifled with. Starting tomorrow, when the rooster crows for the first time, you have to get up and work for me.

If I find out you dare to slack off, I’ll make you regret it!” After leaving these harsh words, Old Mrs. Mu stormed out of the wedding room.

Huang Bita sat on the kang, feeling utterly chilled.

The words of Old Mrs. Mu, openly and covertly insinuating that she was seducing Mu Danian, made Huang Bita feel extremely wronged.

But she knew that whatever she said, the old lady wouldn’t believe her.

...

...

After sending off the last relative who was leaving, the Old Mu Family began to have dinner.

Those eating dinner together were all from the Old Mu Family; the Huang Brothers and Lu Yuanfeng had been called back by Mu Shuangshuang.

She had prepared a hot pot for them at the Old Mu Family, and whatever ingredients were there, she arranged for them.

Since they were eating in the dining room in the backyard, Mrs. Lin came out, but the black cloth on her head was still particularly conspicuous.

Mu Yingying occasionally glanced at Mrs. Lin and giggled, while Mu Dandan continuously served Mu Yingying food.

The relationship between the two sisters seemed great, but the only change was that Mu Dandan was no longer as cautious in her speech and actions, carefully pretending all the time.

Now she behaved casually; after all, her father was a scholar, the only one in Er Gui Village, which alone set her apart from those local bumpkins in the village.

Mu Shuangshuang prepared a table of meals according to the dinner standards, and everyone who had been busy all day had no complaints.

There was just some disagreement when it came to seating arrangements.

Mu Dade took the main seat, and when Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying wanted to sit beside him, Ms. Lin scolded them.

The two girls immediately said, ”We’re not eating!”

”Oh, Dan and Ying, are you planning to have breakfast early? Everyone knows that the main seat to the north used to be where your grandparents sat.

Now my eldest brother is a scholar and holds the highest status in the family, so sitting in the north is fine. But as for you two little girls,

no contributions, can’t earn money, eating and living for free at home despite your age, why should you sit next to my brother?”

Filled with frustration, Mrs. Lin could only vent on the eldest sister’s two daughters.

”I say, Second Aunt, that’s not how you should put it. The contributions we’ve made, haven’t you seen?

Besides, is it not natural to sit next to our own father for a meal? Don’t take out your anger on us because you were offended by our little aunt and had your hair cut off by her.” Mu Dandan responded sharply.

It nearly made Mrs. Lin jump with anger.

”Mom... look at these two girls, they are out of control.” Mrs. Lin said.

”I’m not blind, I can see the situation clearly. If Dan and Ying want to sit, let them sit. How is it your place to complain here?

And as for your hair, if you know it’s shameful, then don’t come out, or if someone sees you, they might just throw you into a pig cage.”

Old Mrs. Mu’s scolding left Mrs. Lin with no words to argue back.

She could only stand to the side, red-faced and unwilling.

Mu Dandan and Mu Yingying were naturally delighted; they weren’t scolded and even got the old lady’s support.

Once everyone was seated, they began to eat. Mr. Mu glanced at the table and suddenly asked: ”Shuangshuang, where are the Huang Brothers and the Lu Family’s boy who helped all day in the kitchen? Why aren’t they here for dinner?”

”They said this place was too small, couldn’t accommodate them.” Mu Shuangshuang hinted, looking at Old Mrs. Mu.

In fact, it was because Old Mrs. Mu had earlier said not to let them stay for dinner, claiming they had already been paid for their work.

Mu Shuangshuang was too lazy to argue with her grandmother; after all, she was the cook, and she could prepare whatever she wanted.

”What kind of talk is that? How can you help and not eat? Where are they? I’ll personally go and call them.” Mr. Mu said.

”No need, Grandpa, I’ve already sent them back!” Yeah, right!

Mu Shuangshuang just didn’t want the Old Mu Family to know that she had set up a table for them elsewhere. If she mentioned it, her grandmother would probably have some nasty things to say about it.

Mr. Mu’s face turned red. He felt like his own face was being slapped. They worked at the house, helped out, and at the very least deserved a meal, regardless of how much they were paid.

If word got out that they weren’t even given a meal...

Mr. Mu couldn’t imagine how the Old Mu Family would be scorned by the village.

Sigh, Mr. Mu let out a long sigh, then said, ”Do-nothing, good-for-nothing lot!”

But these words were directed at Old Mrs. Mu.

Old Mrs. Mu was just about to get angry when Mu Dashan said, ”Mom, let’s hurry up and eat. There are still relatives and neighbors outside waiting for us to go out and drink and chat with them.”

Only then did Old Mrs. Mu bury her head in her meal, and after taking a few bites, she asked Mu Shuangshuang, ”Shuang, later, give me a full report on how much material was used today and how much is left!”
